I am organising for Sunday 11 May 2008, at Regent's College Conference
Centre, London, a seminar celebrating the 60th anniversary of the publication (on
15 May 1948 in The New Yorker) of Vladimir Nabokov's short story "Signs and
Symbols", described by Brian Boyd, the Nabokov biographer and expert, as one
of the greatest short stories ever written. In recent years there have been a
number of interpretations of it, for example by Alexander Dolinin and
Alexander Drescher. I have myself suggested on NABOKV-L a new way of approaching the
story with implications for psychiatry and psychotherapy. I hope a number of
speakers will contribute to this seminar. Please contact me at
_stadlen@aol.com_ (mailto:stadlen@aol.com) if you wish to contribute a talk or paper, or
attend.
The seminar is No. 127 in the Inner Circle Seminars, which I founded in
1996. For details see below.

Anthony Stadlen founded the Inner Circle Seminars in 1996, as an
interdisciplinary search for truth in psychotherapy and its foundations. The seminars
are held once a month, on Sundays, and last all day. Most are conducted by
Anthony Stadlen, but many have been conducted by distinguished authorities in a
number of disciplines, from all over the world, including Alessandra Comini,
Antony Flew, "Emma Gold", Tom Greeves, David Harsent, John Heaton, Susannah
Heschel, Sheila Kitzinger, Claudia Koonz, Franz Maciejewski, Malcolm
Macmillan, Rodney Mariner, Sarah Menin, Nigel Reeves, Gitta Sereny, Sonu Shamdasani,
Martti and Ann-Helen Siirala, David Singmaster, Richard Skues, Naomi Stadlen,
Peter Swales, Thomas Szasz, Terry Tanner, Michael Tregenza, Antti Vihinen.
The seminars themselves have an international reputation. They study
thinkers whose work is of incalculable importance for the foundations of
psychotherapy and related disciplines: Binswanger, Bleuler, Boss, Buber, Coleridge,
Cooper, Esterson, Flew, Flournoy, Freud, Heaton, Heidegger, Heschel, Husserl,
Jung, Kierkegaard, Laing, Levinas, Lomas, Merleau-Ponty, Myers, Nabokov, Patoč
ka, Rogers, Schaler, Scheler, Schiller, Siirala, Straus, Szasz, von
Hildebrand. The seminars are Continuing Professional Development for advanced
professionals, but they are also a safe place for students of psychotherapy and other
disciplines to explore perplexities. You may attend any or all. You will
receive a certificate of attendance.
Anthony Stadlen has practised since 1970 as an existential-phenomenological
analyst. He is registered as an existential psychotherapist by the UKCP (SEA,
SPCRC) and as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist by the BPC (LCP) and the UKCP
(AIP). He is an Honorary Visiting Fellow of the School of Psychotherapy and
Counselling, Regent’s College, London. He is a former Research Fellow of the
Freud Museum, London. His research has been sponsored by the Department of
Philosophy at the University of Essex and supported by the Nuffield Foundation. He
received the 2003 Thomas S. Szasz Award for Outstanding Services to the
Cause of Civil Liberties (professional category) from the Center for Independent
Thought, New York City.
